E E, in iig. 2, are two doors, the one hinged to the middle, and the other to the lower apartments, opening downwards, and held in a parallel position by the supports K K, which we propose to make of metal chain, webbing, or .any like material.

D 'D are ornamented side-brackets, fastened on each side of the frame A, only tocarry out a pleasing design.`

The whole device is aneat and ornamental. piece of furniture, combining in one what has heretofore been known as several distinct .articles of furniture.

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
